Ij. Leary et B. Schuster, ON THE GL(V)-MODULE STRUCTURE OF K(N)ASTERISK(BV), Mathematical proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 122, 1997, pp. 73-89
We study the question of whether the Morava K-theory of the classifyin
g space of an elementary abelian group V is a permutation module (in e
ither of two distinct senses, defined below) for the automorphism grou
p of V. We use Brauer characters and computer calculations. Our algori
thm for finding permutation submodules of modules for p-groups may be
of independent interest.
